Everly Brothers documentary

The New Neo Posted on January 4, 2014 by neoJanuary 4, 2014

If you want to take a look back—and I mean way back—at the lives and times of the Everly Brothers, this is an in-depth documentary. I hadn’t realized they were part of a family act in their early teens. Fascinating … Continue reading →

RIP Phil Everly

The New Neo Posted on January 4, 2014 by neoJanuary 4, 2014

I loved the Everly Brothers. Their sound was so perfectly blended, with wistful heartache that was nevertheless upbeat rather than gloomy. How did they do it? Being brothers helped; siblings have a special harmony. They fought at one point and … Continue reading →

Literary leftists: Clarence Darrow, free will, and poetry

The New Neo Posted on December 30, 2013 by neoDecember 30, 2013

When I was young I came across this book of courtroom speeches by Clarence Darrow. Although I was only about eleven years old it enthralled me, and I think it was one of the reasons I ended up going to … Continue reading →

And speaking of Camille Paglia…

The New Neo Posted on December 28, 2013 by neoDecember 28, 2013

…which we were doing yesterday—there’s an article about her in yesterday’s WSJ. Paglia is a curious amalgam. She prides herself on being unique and iconoclastic, and she certainly defies categorization. She seems to ally with the right on Obamacare, global … Continue reading →

The art of age

The New Neo Posted on December 27, 2013 by neoDecember 27, 2013

Leonard Cohen is a songwriter, and a very successful one at that. But he was a poet first. He’s old, too—if 79 can be called “old” these days. Accordingly, the style and content of his songs have changed over the … Continue reading →

Hey, let’s have more government involvement in health care

The New Neo Posted on December 26, 2013 by neoDecember 26, 2013

Because it’s working out so well. It occurs to me that the category “health care reform,” which I created on this blog in 2009 and have since assigned to this post and to over three hundred others, seems more and … Continue reading →

Freedom of speech and the PC-crowd: whatever happened to the leftists of the 60s?

The New Neo Posted on December 23, 2013 by neoDecember 23, 2013

Ace has a great article about the recent suspension of Phil Robertson and the firing of Justine Sacco because of non-PC speech: A&E has the right to fire or suspend Robertson. So what? The argument is not about what people … Continue reading →

Liberty, equality, security

The New Neo Posted on December 23, 2013 by neoDecember 23, 2013

[BUMPED UP] Commenter “Mrs Whatsit” observes: “In my lifetime I never thought I would see anything like this,” said [commenter] Mythx. Oh, me too. In the early 1980s one of my law professors (wish I could remember which one) cautioned … Continue reading →

Whither Las Vegas and Atlantic City?

The New Neo Posted on December 23, 2013 by neoDecember 23, 2013

Will Vegas and Atlantic City go the way of Detroit? With the proliferation of other, more convenient and less-centralized gambling venues, the two cities may be doomed. Already, more than half the homes in Las Vegas are under water—and I’m … Continue reading →

Pajama Boy: don’t you think…

The New Neo Posted on December 19, 2013 by neoDecember 19, 2013

…that maybe this was what they were going for in the now-famous Obamacare ad with the nerdy guy in the onesie that was supposed to appeal to the sought-after millenials: The first is Obamacare’s Pajama Boy. The second is Johnny … Continue reading →

Whose work is this?

The New Neo Posted on December 6, 2013 by neoDecember 6, 2013

Who was the artist, and when?: It’s a drawing by Albrecht Dé¼rer, made in 1493 when he was 22 years old. It seems remarkably contemporary to me, considering. I guess pillows haven’t changed all that much—except for the invention of … Continue reading →

Happy Chanukah!

The New Neo Posted on December 2, 2013 by neoDecember 2, 2013

[NOTE: This is a slightly edited version of a previous post.] Chanukah began the night before Thanksgiving. But since it has eight days I still get a chance to wish you a happy one—tonight and for two more days, anyway. … Continue reading →
